public VcHostSystemQueryHostPatch(@notNull @notEmpty @required objVcHostSystem: VcHostSystem, @notNull @notEmpty @required strCommandOption: string, @notNull @notEmpty @required strUsername: string, @notNull @notEmpty @required strPassword: string, @notNull @notEmpty @required strProxy: string = "", @notNull @notEmpty @required intPort: number = null): void {

        let objVcHostPatchManagerPatchManagerOperationSpec: VcHostPatchManagerPatchManagerOperationSpec = new VcHostPatchManagerPatchManagerOperationSpec();
        objVcHostPatchManagerPatchManagerOperationSpec.proxy = strProxy;
        objVcHostPatchManagerPatchManagerOperationSpec.port = intPort;

        objVcHostPatchManagerPatchManagerOperationSpec.password = strPassword;

        let objVcHostPatchManager: VcHostPatchManager = objVcHostSystem.retrievePatchManager();

        try {
            let objVcTask: VcTask = objVcHostPatchManager.queryHostPatch_Task(objVcHostPatchManagerPatchManagerOperationSpec);

            this.WaitForVcTaskEnd(objVcTask, 2);
        }
        catch (objException) {

            let objError: Error = objException as Error;

            this.objLogger.error(`Name: ${objError.name}`);
